Thanks!

Where are you??

Last night Mr. and I were supposed to meet for a quick bite to eat before we had our weekly class for Financial Peace University. We decided on Pot Belly at 6...

6:05 I start playing Brick Breaker on my phone to pass the time.

6:15 rolls around and I am sitting there texting him to see if he is lost. This place is 3 blocks from his office.

6:20 Mr. calls me and the convo goes like this:

"Where are you?"

"Sitting at Pot Belly. Where are you"

"Sitting at Pot Belly"

"The one around the corner from your office?"

"Opps. Nope... not that one"

"Enjoy your sandwich. See you at class."

Moral of the story -- clarify the exact location or you will end up eating your sandwich alone.

Sweden pictures

View of Lake Malaren, from the Stockholm City Hall. This is where is Nobel ceremony is held every year.

Once again, Lake Malaren.

Tower of the City Hall.

Absolute Ice Bar! (Just juice for me....)

Our hotel in Kvanum - Bjertorp Slott Castle. Our room looked out onto the fountain... beautiful!

Lacko Castle in Lidkoping. Normally we have dinner here, but they were closed the evening we were there.

Lake Vanern, outside Lacko Castle. The water here is so clean you can drink it... I had a sip. This is the largest lake in Sweden and the 3rd largest in Europe.

Liseberg Amusement Park in Goteburg.

I have the same size hands as Bjorn Borg!

Ohhh Baby!

I have been keeping my mouth shut for quite some time now, but now it is time to share some news.....

I am pregnant! I am almost 3 months along and all is looking good.

I am one of the very lucky ones that has escaped all morning sickness - the only thing that makes me want to gag is the smell of coffee. My main issue right now is what to wear -- my normal wardrobe is quickly dwindling. Mr. and I are very excited and right now we are in the process of getting into a house -- we have a ticking clock looming over us!

And we are back!

Last night we arrive back from Sweden.... and until I get my pictures more organized for a better post, here are a couple of funny things I snapped along the way.

I always get a little chuckle when I see things that if had they been in English would be pretty funny.

Right now I am off for a big salad with a glass of idea tea! I am not a huge fan of the food over there, and you never realize how much you miss the little things (like ice) until you go without for a week.

Brrrr.....

Friday afternoon we leave for Sweden and I can hardly wait! One of the neatest things we do while we are over there is visit the Absolut Ice Bar. You have to wear fur lined parkas and the entire bar is made out of ice! Brrr....

By the end of your time there, your glass has melted into the shape of your lips.

(Last time I was there...)

Dresses and Ties

When we go to weddings, I always buy him a tie that coordinates with my dress.... I like to think that we "coordinate" vs. "dressing alike."






(Most important -- our wedding)

John Mayer concert

Seeing as it is about a million degrees here in Dallas, Mr. Mayer decided it would be best to perform wearing a minimal amount of clothing.

I think he made a wise decision.

The concert was great... he does a wonderful job live. Unfortunately, there was no Jen sighting.
